Lindows.com announces $299 computer available from Datel
Aug. 26, 2002

San Diego, CA -– (press release excerpt) -- Lindows.com, Inc. today announced an agreement with Datel System Incorporated, a San Diego-based system builder and retail store operator. Datel will offer, starting immediately, LindowsOS PCs in their stores.

The Click-N-Run Warehouse also includes StarOffice, from Sun Microsystems, a complete productivity suite that normally costs $75 alone. Computer users who sign-up for the Click-N-Run Warehouse membership receive StarOffice at no additional charge.

In addition to the 10 free software applications, Datel computer buyers have access to a full membership to the Click-N-Run Warehouse that allows users to run almost 1,700 applications in the Lindows.com Click-N-Run Warehouse. The Click-N-Run Warehouse Membership completely outfits a computer system for less than one-third the cost of an Office Suite (which typically costs $400) for one flat fee of $99. The beauty of the Click-N-Run Warehouse is that users do not pay for each application they download. Instead, they enjoy access to hundreds of applications for one $99 dollar price. Computer users at any skill level will find the programs to be diverse and easy to use.

The PCs come pre-installed with LindowsOS which include: an e-mail program, word processor, web browser/file manager, address book, calculator, CD player, MP3 player, Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, Microsoft Word Viewer, Microsoft Excel viewer. Plus, 10 Free Click-N-Run Software applications.

The $299 Datel/LindowsOS Specifications:
  • AMD 850 MHz
  • 128 MB RAM
  • 20 GB Hard Disk Drive
  • 52X CD Rom
  • On board Audio/Video/LAN

Lindows.com representatives will be in Datel stores to demonstrate LindowsOS and field questions on September 14th, 21st and 28th. Introduction to LindowsOS classes are also scheduled for October.
